The city has extended the deadline for residents who want to have a say on the 2013 annual community survey. This survey supplements the city’s statistically valid annual survey that closed on Feb 10.

The annual community survey gives residents a chance to have a say on the city’s municipal services in 2012. It’s the first time Bellevue has offered all residents an opportunity to participate.

The new deadline for the survey is Thursday, Feb. 28. To complete the survey, residents may go to http://ORCsurvey.com/BellevueWebSurvey2013.

Responses from volunteer survey participants will supplement the results of households previously selected at random to take the survey by telephone and online. That phase of the survey ended on Feb. 10.

As in past years, a group of residents were randomly selected and a postcard mailed inviting them to take the survey by telephone or online. The group reflects a statistically reliable sample and the findings represent all Bellevue residents.

The city has partnered with an independent research firm, ORC International, to conduct the survey.
